Cup:
The Round of 32 of the French Cup was played over the weekend, but the designation is a bit of a misnomer with a number of teams getting a bye, leaving 20 teams to play for 10 spots in the next round. There was a single game played on Friday as Landes shook off a slow start to beat Roanne of the second division 67-41. Mousdandy Djaldi-Tabdi led Angers past Calais 75-52 in a matchup that used to be between first division foes. Tarbes eliminated La Rochelle of the third division 82-51. In another game between former league-mates, Nice won 74-67 at Toulouse behind Victoria Macaulay. Olga Maznichenko and Montbrison put up a fight, but still lost 76-67 to Djene Diawara and Lyon. Clementine Samson and Reims came closest to an upset, but fell short against Hainaut 61-59. Katherine Plouffe helped prevent an upset as Nantes beat Chartres 74-70. In the battle of two second division teams, it was Lorraine Lokoka and Aulnoye beating the youngsters of France’s Federal Center of Basketball program 65-55. One final game of team that both used to compete in the top division went to Mondeville 59-50 over Arras.
